Tsk... those darn choral teachers sure are tough on instruments, eh? anon <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 23, 2008 9:30 PM, Martin Wisenbaker <<a href="mailto:mbjwisenbaker@juno.com">mbjwisenbaker@juno.com</a> > wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I am the piano technician for a school district in NE Houston, TX. At one of the high schools there is a Pearl River grand where the sustain pedal must have been played as if it were the pedal of a bass drum. The pin that supports  the damper tray  on its right end is  broken  in  two. Can anyone explain how 1) to remove the tray, 2) how to extract the broken piece from the block attached to the tray itself. Thanks, Martin Wisenbaker, RPT Houston, Texas </blockquote> </div>
